I can't get my cron(1) to work.

This crontab line works:
    * * * * * system /usr/bin/touch /usr_steve/tmp/croncheck1

But this one doesn't:
    * * * * * system /usr_steve/tmp/crontest

Where "/usr_steve/tmp/crontest" contains:

	#!/bin/sh
	/bin/echo hello world > /usr_steve/tmp/croncheck2

and it doesn't work even when owned by "system".

The EUNICE is BSD 4.3.2 on a microVax-III with VMS 4.7.

Any ideas?
